Steen, Perron lead Blues past Wild

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Alex Steen and David Perron each scored twice
and Ty Conklin made 21 saves in the St. Louis Blues' 5-0
exhibition victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.

Minnesota goalie Josh Harding, playing for the first time since
surgery to repair a partially torn hip labrum, was carried off
the ice after a collision midway through the first period.

Harding was bowled over by Blues winger Brad Boyes, who was
checked into Harding by Wild defenseman Greg Zanon. Harding went
over on his back, threw off his glove and blocker and began
motioning toward his hip. He was down several minutes on his
back before being carried off by teammates.

Minnesota has dropped its first two preseason games, both to St.
Louis (2-1). The Wild have been outscored 10-1, with six of
those goals coming while the Blues were on the power play. Steen
and Perron both scored with the man advantage, and Brett Sonne
also had a power-play goal.
